I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Sonia was initially worried that Mr. Tony's situation would have a significant impact on Mr. Kassadin.

However, seeing Mr. Kassadin start playing games now made her feel a little more at ease.

At least it didn't affect Mr. Kassadin's hobbies.

Sonia quickly tidied up and prepared new drinks for Mr. Kassadin.

She also started her own work and contacted Lalatina.

※※※※※※※

Tony, Banner, Loki, and Thor left the Void Island together after dinner.

Tony decided to postpone the grand banquet until the first spaceship was actually built.

Personally speaking, Harvey Bitony is the only wealthy person in the Cult of the Void.

If we consider power, Alex and Odin can rival him.

If Tony were still the same as before, with himself and Pepper having enough to eat and no worries about the rest of the family, then Tony would definitely throw a lavish feast first.

However, Tony will soon be transitioning from personal use to using his faction.

He can afford to spend millions without any scrimping or saving, but he can no longer squander hundreds of millions on lavish banquets like he used to.

Moreover, once Earth enters the interstellar era, it will completely bridge the gap between Xandar and Earth.

If Pepper is freed from Earth, it will become much more difficult for Tony to enjoy a life of luxury at upscale hotels.

So Tony could only sneak a fling while he stayed near Pepper before she arrived.

Therefore, Tony hoped to have as much fun as possible this time, since it's no exaggeration to say that every opportunity like this is one of the few remaining.

Thinking of this, Tony watched Thor and Loki chatting carefree inside the warship, asking Banner if he had any experience to share, and felt a little envious.

Banner, Thor, and Loki were thrilled. Since none of the three had families, they could go to upscale hotels openly without any guilt.

But since he had a family, he had to sneak away every time he went.

Although Tony guessed that Pepper probably knew, he figured he would definitely be out having a good time and relaxing.

However, this was only when Pepper wasn't around, and Pepper was willing to turn a blind eye.

Most of the other members of the Void Cult were male and could understand his primal male pursuit, so they didn't give Pepper any strange looks.

But if he dared to do that under Pepper's nose, he would be asking for trouble.

However, Tony's mood immediately improved after thinking of Steve.

At least after he married Pepper, while Pepper is currently unable to leave Earth, he has a chance to escape, whereas Steve probably has no chance at all.

"Tony, you don't seem very enthusiastic."

Thor was chatting with Banner when he felt Tony's gaze and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"What else could it be? They're just envious that we're not married."

"After all, the freedom of married people is completely different from that of unmarried people."

"Moreover, the laws, customs, and concepts of Earth are mostly based on monogamy."

Loki immediately noticed the envy in Tony's eyes.

"Ah."

Tony didn't deny it even after Loki exposed his thoughts.

"He actually admitted it... But some of the rich on Tony's planet, like the gambling king and the mafia boss, have many partners."

"Why do you only have Pepper?"

Loki was somewhat surprised that Tony had actually admitted it, and then asked with some curiosity.

In reality, the monogamous system is only suitable for ordinary people.

Not all countries on Earth practice monogamy.

Some extremely wealthy people outwardly adhere to monogamy, but in reality, they have a large number of mistresses.

Tony is notorious for his womanizing ways and is also a well-known and wealthy man on Earth.

Why does Tony only have Pepper as his legitimate partner?

Furthermore, Tony's high regard for Pepper's appearance left Loki completely baffled.

"Because my father was like that, he had many affairs, but he only had my mother as his partner throughout his life."

“I like Pepper very much, whether it’s her appearance, her ability, or her personality. Only Pepper has been able to accompany me through such a long time.”

"If I hadn't joined the Void, I wouldn't be young anymore. After marrying Pepper, I should have settled down completely."

"I'm still full of energy, and it's fine if I sneak around occasionally when Pepper isn't around."

"How could he possibly have a bunch of mistresses to annoy Pepper?"

Tony didn't shy away from the question and answered it matter-of-factly.

He knew that his father had been a womanizer in the past, and that this continued even after he married his mother.

His father, like him, was handsome, rich, and talented, attracting a large number of beautiful women who flocked to him whenever he went out.

One or two beautiful women can resist temptation, but so many beautiful women are not to be trifled with. If a man could resist temptation, he wouldn't be a man.

However, those were limited to one-night stands. As for those women wanting to become legitimate partners, bringing them home was impossible.

"Having stayed with the Void God Cult for so long, I forgot that blue humans have relatively short lifespans."

Loki immediately understood what Tony was saying.

While it's normal for someone with money to have a bunch of mistresses on Earth, that's only something they can enjoy when they're young and energetic.

If Tony hadn't joined the Void, he would be approaching fifty years old, and old age wouldn't be far off.

The wealthy on Earth tend to be extravagant and unwilling to start families when they are young, but when they reach middle and old age, even if they want to, their bodies become too weak due to age.

Therefore, at this stage, their demands on their partners are more about emotional fulfillment than about occasional physical pleasure.

Now that Tony and Pepper have joined the Void, their lifespans have been extended.

Other women were just occasional pastimes for Tony; the only true companion who could stand by him through the long years was Pepper.

"You understand what I mean."

"However, Earth's lifespan is too short, and it's limited to now."

"I have never ventured into the field of genetics before, but if humanity wants to enter the interstellar age, the current lifespan of humans will become an absolute bottleneck."

"So I need to think with Banner about how to conduct the research."

Tony ignored Loki's offense and spoke up.

"You're even researching genetics? You must be exhausted."

Loki couldn't help but sigh when he heard about Tony's future research direction.

"There's no other way. The genetic genius scientist Zhao Hailun that Jarvis investigated specializes in cell regeneration and repair in the medical field."

"The technology she developed is useful and advanced enough."

"However, it is a completely different field from super gene-altering drugs that alter gene structure."

"Moreover, because it focuses on medical equipment, it only benefits a small number of people."

"If we want to lead humanity from Earth to the interstellar age, it certainly can't just benefit a few people."

Banner's face showed a hint of helplessness upon hearing this.

Tony talked to him about these things, wanting to make gene therapy available to billions of people on Earth.

Therefore, we certainly cannot rely entirely on purchasing; the civilization of Earth itself must also possess the corresponding talent to achieve large-scale production.

This is not an easy task, so Tony also wants to find some help.

Jarvis investigated Blue Star's database and discovered Zhao Hailun.

The two were initially overjoyed, as Zhao Hailun was indeed a true genius.

However, the two later learned that the regeneration cradle Zhao Hailun made was mainly used for post-treatment care.

Their hearts sank to rock bottom; let alone the cost of building a cradle for regeneration.

Tony has plenty of money, but the problem is that even if he created tens of thousands of them, they would be useless to the billions of people on Earth.

The key to humanity's entry into the interstellar age lies not in medical technology, but in average physical fitness and lifespan.

Chapter 446 I'm too embarrassed to lend

Of course, once he's done with this busy period and returns to Earth, Tony will definitely try to recruit Helen Zhao.

However, the purpose was not to get Zhao Hailun to help research gene-based drugs, but to have Zhao Hailun further improve the technology of the Cradle of Life.

Although the technology of Regenerative Cradle Medical is not suitable for everyone, the medical technology of Earth still needs to be further improved.

Tony wouldn't mind offering Hailun a lifetime contract and extremely high compensation, provided she's willing.

Even if he has plenty of time and energy, he can find a way to overcome it by spending time.

However, he has so many things to do that he doesn't know when he'll be able to start researching medicine again.

Therefore, Tony would definitely look for outstanding talent who could help him share the burden.

"Although I would love to help, our Asgardian soldiers rely on the blessing of reproduction."

"So I can't offer you any help."

Thor also learned about the difficulties Tony and Banner would face, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke up.

"It's alright, Banner and I will figure something out."

"Although Earth doesn't have any gene-enhancing drugs, Xandar does, and they're already very advanced."

"Finding a way to research and improve the manufacturing process for mass production shouldn't be that difficult."

Tony didn't care at all when he heard this.

There are only a handful of genetic warriors on Earth, and the method for creating them has been lost.
